Higher fire rate allows you to stun-lock foes even without the Shotgun+ skill.
Ammo can be swapped for a SLUG to deal lethal headshots at very long ranges or a V.RING to knock foes unconscious at close ranges.
Bigger ammo clip allows for 8 shots before reloading and has double the total ammo of the M870 CUSTOM.
It is possible to fire too quickly, as foes have Invulnerability Frames during knock-back and knock-down animations. Causing your rapid fire shots to not register every other ammo cartridge.
Recoil control does become a factor when rapid firing without the Shotgun+ skill.
Longer reloading animation than the M870 CUSTOM. Cannot partially reload.
Focuses on mobility. Very effective at ambushes and flanking. Highly recommended!
